Our School Day

Start of school day

Morning gates will open at 8:35am, whereby only pupils should enter the playground and into their classrooms directly as they arrive; no parents/carers are expected to enter or wait with your child/ren in playground of a morning time. 

Staff are waiting each morning at the school gates to meet and greet the pupils as well as supervise them as they directly enter the classroom. Therefore, the drop off slot will be between 8:35am – 8:45am for the whole school.

EYFS Only

Early Years enter via the small KS1 gate (to the right of the school) and will be met by EYFS staff where they will enter the classrooms via the large double gates leading into their outdoor area.

Each class enters at a different time:

Elm Class 8:40am
Oak Class 8:45am

Registers will be taken at 8:45am and closed at 8:50am.
